Branded Guitar Hero Guitar Case £1 @ Poundland

When you're heading out the door to pop round a friend's house for a bit of Guitar Hero action, the last thing you want to find is that the weather's turned nasty on you, and you need to quickly scrabble around in search of something to protect your expensive music game controllers with. Luckily, Poundland have the solution to this problem, which comes in the form of a branded Guitar Hero guitar case for the tantalising price of £1, but you'll have to check with your local store to make sure they're in stock first.

I can see the appeal of picking up a cheap protective case for my music game peripherals, unfortunately it's also what's got me running for the hills, because I'd be afraid of it falling apart after a few months, or if it's caught in a light drizzle, or a gentle breeze.

Having said that, if it was to disintegrate with little warning prior to the disastrous event, I'd probably shrug and think 'Well, at least I only spent £1 on it', although that thought'd probably be pushed to the back of my mind if one of my music controllers was damaged in the process.
